ALT Top left: Map centred on Colombia, showing Venezuela to the right and the Pacific Ocean to the left. The Guajira Peninsula is highlighted in a dotted box outline towards the top. To the right is a photograph of a fossil fish tooth (Serrasalmus; STRI 470060; scale bar 2 mm). Red rectangle in the top right corner is a cover image from the journal Papers in Palaeontology. Bottom left is a palaeogeographic map of northern South America showing a possible palaeodrainage connection between east and west of the Andes. In the bottom left corner is a selection of fish photographs representing the taxa recovered from the site.
ALT At the top: a photograph of a fossil fish: Paralates chapelcornerensis (NHMUK PV P 76993a) lying on its side horizontally on a fine grained yellow/brown rock matrix. Scale bar in lower right corner is 5 mm. Middle: an artist's reconstruction of the same fish, anatomically accurate based on fossil material with colouring based on extant genus Micropercops and preserved pigmentation visible in one of the fossil dorsal fins. At the bottom: a map of the Isle of Wight, off the southern coast of England with the fossil locality near Ryde (on the northeastern coast of the island) marked with a yellow star.
